5 Things Survey Fun

My site was up and down yesterday so if you miss my Long Island Half Marathon training recap, click here to catch up!

I am finally getting around to this 5 Things Survey which has been floating around the internet. After seeing Alyssa share her 5 Things last week, I decided it was time I tackled it too.

I changed up some of the 5 Things categories though and added some of my own as well 🙂

5 Foods I Eat Every Day:

It’s weird to not include peanut butter in this list but I haven’t been eating it every day like usual. After having a stomach virus a few weeks ago, peanut butter lost its appeal. I don’t even understand this myself but I am just going with what I am in the mood to eat for now.

Oatmeal

Apples

Sweet Potatoes

Chocolate

Avocado

I had the best baked oatmeal at the Premiere Diner over the weekend!

5 Beauty Products I Use Everyday:

Shiseido moisturizers (I use a few products morning/night all listed in this post)

Guerlain Foundation

Dior Prime & Conceal Stick

Dior Lip Glow

Dior Eye Reviver Eye Shadow Palette

Fun survey! I would definitely wear leggings and sweatshirts all the time if I worked from home. I am the same with small spoons and forks! We have bigger ones that I avoid, and I will actually take the little ones out of the dishwasher and hand wash them if we run out! And I definitely prefer to use a spoon whenever I can as well.Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine recently posted…Warm Weather, Daylight Savings, and a Boston Baby Shower

I love these surveys! My weekend was boring so I’ll try to come up with a few things…
1. long walks with selma and Dan
2. garage sale craziness at REI
3. long run in the rain
4. meal prepping for the week
5. cancelled my gym membership since we’re MOVING!

I only use little spoons–I mean often times little espresso spoons lol. I always eat with a spoon. I put one at my place setting at every meal and always request one in a restaurant when there is not one. my daughter likes to eat her breakfast and desert with her little silverware from when she was kid and believe me she is well beyond that. Love your taste on lulu. Have a great week.

Such a fun survey! I wear sweatshirts or a non-running tech layer (I have some I like too much to sweat in) almost everyday plus the PrAna Kara jean which is so comfy. And Lancome mascara and earrings are also part of my uniform. Working from home definitely has its perks!Laura @ This Runner’s Recipes recently posted…Mile Markers: Recovery Week

So jealous that you were from work. That would be awesome! How cool you were neighbors with Jerry Seinfeld’s sis. I would love to eat avocados everyday but they are so darn expensive. I made some guacamole last night as a little treat last night. …so good!lacey@fairytalesandfitness recently posted…At Home Workouts you can do in 5 minutes

Oats and chocolate are on my list too, and then bananas, almond butter, and dates. And I’ve been stalking Lulu’s page for a few weeks now and they have SO many cute things. I think I’m gonna have to finally head in there… and probably walk out with half the store 😆Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…currently – march 2016

SO COOL about Jerry Seinfeld’s sister. That’s amazing! 5 things I did this weekend:
1) Watched Kylah’s soccer game
2) Went for a run
3) Got our kitty spayed
4) Vacuumed and mopped floors (right before Callum went ballistic with a box of fishy crackers)
5) Went out for appies and wine last night with Andrew (and our cute little tagalong)Suzy recently posted…Mileage Monday

I still refuse to use big utensils. I just invested in my first lululemon gear, a couple sports bras and tanks and hoping it doesn’t become a dangerous obsession! But I will say – the bras = 100% worth it.Gianna @ Run, Lift, Repeat recently posted…Frozen Penguin Half Marathon Recap

so so so worth it! even if it’s more expensive, lulu stuff is worth it because of the fit and how durable it is. not to mention, always looks good! I don’t even need anything new right now because everything I have bought lasts for so long.

Love your top 5 running songs! I love running to Fall Out Boy but can rarely listen to it otherwise because it seems kind of aggressive. Aka perfect for running! I’m a lefty too but do lots of things right-handed since the right-handers basically overtake everything in this world.Caroline M recently posted…Welcome!

What a fun little survey. I might have to borrow this one, especially since I use Angels perfume and adore Maklemore. That’s my boy, not that I know him or anything, but you know what I mean.Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets recently posted…Week in Review: Bathtubs, Cookies and Nudity (#22)

I would definitely have Teeghan from Half-Baked Harvest come and cook for me, great choice! I’m a spoon and small cutlery person too – I think it’s because I like to really enjoy every bit of food!Fiona recently posted…Going Long for the Last Time: Paris Marathon
